It’s a new year, and a new start for many of the families featured in Statesman Season for Caring. This week we’re highlighting the progress they have made since we introduced you to them on Nov. 27, and what needs the families still have.

Sheila King, 49, lost her 15-year-old son to suicide in July and her husband and mother to cancer in September, within days of finding out they had been chosen for Season for Caring.
